[00:13] ---
    I know this cold voice
[00:17] ---
    Taking my friend
[00:22] ---
    Maybe a little afraid you'll run away
[00:26] ---
    But right now...
[00:30] ---
    For this moment in time, I want to hold you tight
[00:35] ---
    By your side, I'm dreaming of the days
[00:39] ---
    When I finally look up at the promised sky
[00:44] ---
    I'll take off and break all the way
[00:49] ---
    For this moment in time, I just wanna be with you
[00:53] ---
    By your side, I'm dreaming of the days
[00:58] ---
    When I finally look up at the promised sky
[01:02] ---
    I know I can change all the way
[01:07] ---
    For the moment...
[01:11] ---
    I just wanna hold you...
[01:30] ---
    "Cross Days"
[01:38] ---
    1955
[01:39] ---
    1955, New York City
[01:53] ---
    Welcome, Your Highness.
[01:55] ---
    May I present the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Raginei...
[01:57] ---
    His Highness Machaty Sheik Di Raginei!
[02:04] ---
    These people have no manners.
[02:08] ---
    Your Highness!
[02:09] ---
    There's no use trying to explain the teachings of the Lord Ragi to these heathens.
[02:13] ---
    I'm going to my room.
[02:16] ---
    Di--did I offend him?
[02:19] ---
    The religion of Ragi is one of sun worship.
[02:22] ---
    The head, the closest part of you to the sun, is considered sacred.
[02:26] ---
    In front of His Highness, consider wearing a hat.
[02:31] ---
    Four whole days in this vulgar country!
[02:34] ---
    Even though a month from now I have to take the throne!
[02:38] ---
    With the Global Economic Summit four days away,
[02:41] ---
    delegates from many of the world's nations are arriving in America.
[02:45] ---
    The United Kingdom proposed this summit in response to predictions...
[02:48] ---
    of a resource decline accompanying rapid economic growth.
[02:51] ---
    In particular, oil...
[02:52] ---
    Vultures gathering to feed...
[02:55] ---
    It's a summit in name only.
[02:57] ---
    The real reason they've come...
[02:59] ---
    is to covet my country's oil, and wave around their own privileges.
[03:02] ---
    That's exactly why...
[03:03] ---
    it is necessary for Your Highness to attend in person.
[03:21] ---
    Even though it's nighttime...
[03:23] ---
    everything is bathed in light.
[03:26] ---
    To make Raginei a wealthy nation like this... I hope I can do it.
[03:30] ---
    No... I have to do it.
[03:34] ---
    And then... I'll drive the white men off of the soil of Ragi!
[03:38] ---
    I won't let the world powers...
[03:40] ---
    have their way with my country!
[03:44] ---
    His Highness is in a bad temper?
[03:46] ---
    I'm afraid so.
[03:47] ---
    Well, His Highness is fifteen years old...
[03:50] ---
    he's still very young.
[03:52] ---
    At a difficult time like this...
[03:54] ---
    His Majesty the King's illness is truly painful...
[04:03] ---
    Compliments of the British Consul.
[04:09] ---
    Villain!
[04:13] ---
    Flee, Your Highness!
[04:19] ---
    Crown Prince, prepare yourself!
[04:29] ---
    Not with a gun!
[04:46] ---
    The collection truck is here already.
[04:48] ---
    We'd better hurry.
[05:04] ---
    He's nowhere to be found!
[05:06] ---
    Call the manager immediately, and contact the police!
[05:09] ---
    But in the meantime, His Highness could be--!
[05:11] ---
    Proceed in secret, with all possible speed!
[05:14] ---
    If something were to happen to His Highness now...
[05:16] ---
    the royal family would cease to exist!
[05:26] ---
    It stopped...
[05:43] ---
    Where in the world is the hotel?
[06:03] ---
    Day after day I sing in a noisy bar...
[06:08] ---
    it's enough to live on, but...
[06:10] ---
    it feels empty, somehow.
[06:22] ---
    Don't startle me like that!
[06:25] ---
    I get it, you're here for tonight's "hat party," right?
[06:32] ---
    But that's a whole costume!
[06:35] ---
    What country's native dress is that supposed to be?
[06:36] ---
    It's the informal attire of the royal family of Raginei.
[06:39] ---
    Come on in.
[06:40] ---
    You're so young, they'll never let you in the door...
[06:43] ---
    but I'll sneak you in the back way.
[06:46] ---
    Insolent wretch! Don't touch me!
[06:49] ---
    You're even in character!
[06:51] ---
    I'm Kathleen. Pleased to meetcha.
[07:08] ---
    ...it really is...
[07:09] ---
    Fred!
[07:10] ---
    Kathleen!
[07:13] ---
    I want to introduce you to someone.
[07:14] ---
    Gee, that's some flashy guest you've got there.
[07:17] ---
    From that country--whatchamacallit...
[07:19] ---
    It's "Raginei."
[07:20] ---
    Right, he's here as a Prince of Rabbity.
[07:25] ---
    Fred is a newspaper reporter.
[07:27] ---
    That's just temporary...
[07:29] ---
    pretty soon I'll be a novelist.
[07:31] ---
    Nice to meet you. I'm Fredrick Burnsworth.
[07:36] ---
    Who gave you permission to touch me?
[07:39] ---
    Perhaps you wish to die for your insolence!
[07:41] ---
    Is he a funny kid or what?
[07:44] ---
    St--stop that.
[07:46] ---
    He's so cute!
[07:51] ---
    Would you care for something to drink?
[08:02] ---
    Oh, no... the kid drank champagne...
[08:05] ---
    What is this stuff?
[08:07] ---
    It's water that sends you to paradise...
[08:09] ---
    the Water of God.
[08:11] ---
    It's not for kids to drink.
[08:14] ---
    I can't understand it...
[08:16] ---
    My religious studies instructors never mentioned anything like this...
[08:21] ---
    Hey, I told you, cut it out!
[08:22] ---
    I told you not to touch me!
[08:25] ---
    People who can't stand to be touched don't get any.
[08:30] ---
    Fine. I'll allow it.
[08:35] ---
    On this day, now and from this moment on...
[08:37] ---
    I shall appoint thee to the rank of Royal Handmaiden.
[08:40] ---
    Kneel.
[08:45] ---
    As master...
[08:47] ---
    representative of the Lord Ragi...
[08:48] ---
    and ruler of Raginei, in the name of First Prince Machaty Sheik...
[08:52] ---
    we grant to Kathleen the rank of Royal Handmaiden.
[08:56] ---
    Wilt thou dedicate thy life unto the royal family?
[09:00] ---
    O--okay... I guess...
[09:03] ---
    Good!
[09:04] ---
    Now hurry, hand over the Water of God!
[09:07] ---
    Hey, no way.
[09:09] ---
    Please stop it!
[09:11] ---
    C'mere and give the Boss a little "service," you.
[09:14] ---
    I'm begging you, please let me go!
[09:17] ---
    Gaglione Family hoodlums!
[09:22] ---
    Hey... get a little closer, now.
[09:28] ---
    Frank, stop screwing around.
[09:31] ---
    This girl only just got here.
[09:34] ---
    You've got some spirit, Kathleen...
[09:40] ---
    You're gonna spend some time with me.
[09:42] ---
    You haven't picked tonight's customer, have you?
[09:47] ---
    Get the hell out and never come back!
[09:51] ---
    You'd better learn your place!
[09:53] ---
    Or what?
[09:53] ---
    Come, now, this is childish, Frank...
[09:57] ---
    Shut up! Stay out of this!
[10:00] ---
    Fred!
[10:01] ---
    See, you'd better do as I say...
[10:04] ---
    like go out with me tonight.
[10:10] ---
    That woman is my handmaiden.
[10:12] ---
    You may not harm her!
[10:16] ---
    Y--you little--!
[10:31] ---
    Depart!
[10:33] ---
    I'll remember this!
[10:36] ---
    The Water of God!
[10:37] ---
    --The Water of God!
    --Ack, give it up!
[10:52] ---
    He went right to sleep.
[10:55] ---
    It's hard to believe the fight from earlier really happened.
[10:57] ---
    Those guys are going to go looking for revenge.
[10:59] ---
    You'd better hide out here for a little while, too.
[11:05] ---
    This cloth! It's top-quality silk!
[11:08] ---
    Maybe he's really the son of some wealthy tycoon...
[11:12] ---
    Oh!
[11:13] ---
    This stuff is gold thread!
[11:15] ---
    Amazing!
[11:17] ---
    This is some craftsmanship.
[11:19] ---
    It's obvious even to the untrained eye.
[11:31] ---
    You're in charge of covering the Global Economic Summit...
[11:33] ---
    Eh?
[11:34] ---
    The Kingdom of Raginei is supposed to participate, right?
[11:38] ---
    Oh, yes! The present King is ill...
[11:41] ---
    so the Crown Prince is here instead.
[11:44] ---
    Prince Machaty?
[11:45] ---
    Wow, you know your stuff...
[11:47] ---
    Do you have a picture?
[11:57] ---
    Find that cloth!
[11:59] ---
    Where'd you go, Fred?
[12:02] ---
    Kathleen! You--
[12:04] ---
    you slept in the same bed with him?
[12:06] ---
    But your sofa's so uncomfortable...
[12:10] ---
    He's the real thing!
[12:12] ---
    First Prince Machaty of the Kingdom of Raginei!
[12:18] ---
    That woke you up!
[12:19] ---
    They say that in the Kingdom of Raginei...
[12:21] ---
    if you willfully remove that headcloth...
[12:23] ---
    they'll behead you for the insult!
[12:28] ---
    Where is that cloth?
[12:29] ---
    Eek! That's my skirt!
[12:32] ---
    Found it! Here it is!
[12:34] ---
    F-- Fred...
[12:36] ---
    He's opening his eyes!
[12:47] ---
    Your Highness the Crown Prince Machaty Sheik Di Raginei!
[12:52] ---
    Did I...
[12:53] ---
    grant you the honor of speaking my name?
[13:04] ---
    Would you be Master Burnsworth?
[13:07] ---
    I received your message, I'm a subject of Raginei.
[13:13] ---
    Let him in.
[13:14] ---
    Your Highness!
[13:18] ---
    I'm so grateful you're safe!
[13:20] ---
    It took you long enough, Jabir.
[13:23] ---
    It's like watching some movie...
[13:26] ---
    I can't tell you how sorry we are about all this...
[13:29] ---
    Would you mind telling us what's going on?
[13:32] ---
    The truth is... there were assassins after His Highness.
[13:36] ---
    The plot was instigated by Great Britain, and carried out by heretics from Raginei.
[13:40] ---
    Your Highness!
[13:42] ---
    If only there were no King...
[13:44] ---
    then neither would there be unity among the believers.
[13:47] ---
    And Great Britain, without dirtying its hands...
[13:49] ---
    could have all the oil rights to themselves.
[13:52] ---
    Those people think only of what they can steal...
[13:54] ---
    this plot looks like their work.
[13:56] ---
    It can't be...
[13:58] ---
    It can... the Kingdom of Raginei may be an autonomous territory of Great Britain...
[14:02] ---
    but political power rests with the throne.
[14:04] ---
    Taking the royal family out of the picture...
[14:06] ---
    putting in a government you can freely manipulate...
[14:09] ---
    that could be exactly what they're thinking.
[14:12] ---
    As it stands, of course, let's go back to our country.
[14:15] ---
    Nothing is worth Your Highness' life.
[14:18] ---
    You're telling me...
[14:19] ---
    to run?
[14:21] ---
    The dignity of my country demands that I attend the summit!
[14:26] ---
    Well then, how about you stay hidden away like this...
[14:29] ---
    and only appear for the summit?
[14:32] ---
    Perfect!
[14:33] ---
    Security at the assembly hall will be tight, won't it?
[14:36] ---
    Assassination would be out of the question, right?
[14:39] ---
    That's a good idea!
[14:40] ---
    It is?
[14:42] ---
    Mr. Burnsworth!
[14:43] ---
    Thank you so much for your generous proposal!
[14:46] ---
    Well... that's not exactly what I meant...
[14:48] ---
    right, Kathleen?
[14:50] ---
    Ah--oh, yes.
[14:52] ---
    Madame Kathleen.
[14:53] ---
    You received the rank of Royal Handmaiden.
[14:57] ---
    Even among the high-born women of Raginei...
[14:59] ---
    not a single one has managed that.
[15:02] ---
    So please serve His Highness without reservation!
[15:04] ---
    So why me, then!?
[15:07] ---
    It's settled, then.
[15:09] ---
    Kathleen, show me to my room.
[15:12] ---
    This is a shed, right?
[15:14] ---
    Well, excuse me and my shed here...
[15:16] ---
    As long as you're at it...
[15:17] ---
    my house looks just like it.
[15:20] ---
    And here I'd heard America was a wealthy country...
[15:23] ---
    Oh! I get it.
[15:25] ---
    This must be the slums.
[15:28] ---
    Kathleen!
[15:30] ---
    Your Highness, that way...
[15:35] ---
    What was she so angry about?
[15:37] ---
    I have no idea...
[15:40] ---
    This is why I hate women.
[15:42] ---
    Your Highness...
[15:43] ---
    Hating women could be problematic...
[15:46] ---
    Having children will be my duty as King.
[15:49] ---
    I will marry.
[15:51] ---
    But I'll still hate women.
[15:54] ---
    So it's okay for him to act that way because he's a prince?
[15:57] ---
    I'm here to apologize in his place.
[16:00] ---
    In all his life, His Highness...
[16:02] ---
    has never been allowed to take a single step outside the Royal Palace.
[16:06] ---
    It's the law for royalty...
[16:08] ---
    the future King must be kept away from all danger.
[16:13] ---
    Really...
[16:14] ---
    But... his wedding is one month from now.
[16:17] ---
    I must keep trying to teach His Highness, little by little...
[16:21] ---
    Wedding...
[16:27] ---
    Getting married while you still don't know anything about the world...
[16:30] ---
    You can't help feeling sorry for him...
[16:33] ---
    Kathleen!
[16:35] ---
    What do you think?
[16:37] ---
    Oh, my gosh, he's adorable!
[16:41] ---
    The custom in Raginei says...
[16:43] ---
    it's better if your head isn't showing, right?
[16:45] ---
    Jabir! When did you turn into the white people's little pet dog?
[16:49] ---
    Your Highness! It wasn't like that at all...
[16:52] ---
    There was no choice!
[16:54] ---
    Jabir couldn't walk around looking so conspicuous.
[16:57] ---
    He didn't want to cut his hair, but he did it, for your sake!
[17:00] ---
    Shut up!
[17:03] ---
    Something smells bad.
[17:09] ---
    Stay out, all of you!
[17:13] ---
    What in the heck are you sulking about?
[17:14] ---
    I'm not bringing your dinner in there!
[17:17] ---
    This is supposed to be a free country.
[17:19] ---
    That being the case...
[17:20] ---
    I ought to have the right not to eat bad-tasting food.
[17:26] ---
    His attitude was haughty, with a universal disdain for his fellow man...
[17:30] ---
    his arrogance let him abuse the goodwill of others without a second thought...
[17:34] ---
    he had been waited on every moment of his life...
[17:39] ---
    and yet for all that, Machaty was fascinating in the extreme...
[17:42] ---
    and he overflowed with charm.
[17:59] ---
    Kajika!
[18:01] ---
    Fred!
[18:04] ---
    Welcome to our home.
[18:06] ---
    I finally got to invite you...
[18:09] ---
    Let me take a good look at that face...
[18:12] ---
    The resemblance is so strong now... it's almost like magic.
[18:16] ---
    Who is it I resemble? Kathleen?
[18:20] ---
    Ah... yes, indeed.
[18:23] ---
    Hm?
[18:25] ---
    This is Toranosuke Haga...
[18:27] ---
    my bodyguard.
[18:29] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[18:30] ---
    The gentleman on his left is Lee-Leng, the one I always talk about.
[18:34] ---
    It's an honor to meet you at last...
[18:35] ---
    Mr. Burnsworth.
[18:37] ---
    Call me Fred.
[18:40] ---
    Wow... it looks just like the pictures!
[18:44] ---
    Except covered in dust.
[18:47] ---
    It's been three years since Kathleen passed away...
[18:49] ---
    Aren't you lonely?
[18:51] ---
    Harry invited me to come live together...
[18:54] ---
    but I have no desire to leave here.
[18:59] ---
    Is this Miss Kajika's grandmother?
[19:02] ---
    She really has that All-American Beauty thing...
[19:05] ---
    Chairman Harry, though...
[19:07] ---
    he looks sort of Asian on first glance.
[19:09] ---
    Toranosuke.
[19:11] ---
    I don't approve of this intrusiveness.
[19:14] ---
    Ah--... I'm sorry...
[19:16] ---
    It happens a lot in America...
[19:19] ---
    since so many people are multiracial.
[19:25] ---
    I'm sorry for what I said earlier.
[19:29] ---
    It's considered taboo to touch on Harry's birth.
[19:34] ---
    Whether he's really adopted...
[19:36] ---
    or the product of a previous marriage...
[19:39] ---
    Since Kathleen died...
[19:41] ---
    Fred now insists he is his own child.
[19:44] ---
    Either way, the truth is shrouded in darkness...
[19:53] ---
    --Did I wake you?
    --Kajika?
[19:55] ---
    Well, you see... my room is incredibly cute!
[19:58] ---
    They said Kathleen got it ready especially for me.
[20:01] ---
    Come see!
[20:02] ---
    It's late... I'll come tomorrow morning.
[20:05] ---
    You could come for a second...
[20:08] ---
    Kajika...
[20:09] ---
    how old are you again?
[20:14] ---
    What's wrong with him? He's so stingy! Why is he so mean to me!
[20:17] ---
    Stubborn jerk! Rotten to the core!
[20:23] ---
    Who's rotten to the core?
[20:26] ---
    Lee-Leng...
[20:28] ---
    I can see now how long Fred Burnsworth and his wife...
[20:31] ---
    were waiting for you, Kajika.
[20:35] ---
    Kathleen...
[20:37] ---
    What's wrong?
[20:39] ---
    There was something you wanted to say...
[20:43] ---
    No...
[20:44] ---
    It doesn't matter.
[20:47] ---
    I just felt a little lonely.
[20:58] ---
    You surprised me! I went to your room, but you weren't there.
[21:02] ---
    That's because the fish from this lake are delicious.
[21:05] ---
    I thought I'd let everyone have some of my catch.
[21:10] ---
    And how are you doing, by the way?
[21:13] ---
    I hear Harry made you an odd proposal...
[21:15] ---
    Oh, you mean the Husband Hunting Game?
[21:18] ---
    I've only found one so far...
[21:21] ---
    but I don't even know whether he is one or not...
[21:24] ---
    Wanna see a picture?
[21:29] ---
    Ho ho, there's a handsome fellow.
[21:32] ---
    His name is Eugene. But...
[21:34] ---
    he's also the reincarnation of Mustafa.
[21:37] ---
    I see.
[21:38] ---
    Do you like him?
[21:40] ---
    Yep.
[21:41] ---
    How about Lee-Leng?
[21:43] ---
    Of course I like him.
[21:45] ---
    But he's not a husband candidate?
[21:47] ---
    That's impossible... Lee-Leng is my dear big brother.
[21:51] ---
    He wouldn't do for husband-y stuff.
[21:54] ---
    "Husband-y stuff?"
[21:56] ---
    Someone so close to you for so long should be a brother, right?
[22:01] ---
    Getting married is still far in the future for you.
[22:04] ---
    Right!
[22:05] ---
    Also, recently, I made one more friend.
[22:09] ---
    His retainers wouldn't let me take a picture, so I had to be sneaky.
[22:12] ---
    See, he's a prince! It causes a lot of difficulties.
[22:16] ---
    A prince?
[22:18] ---
    Rumaty, of the Kingdom of Raginei!
[22:22] ---
    Machaty...
[22:23] ---
    No, this is Rumaty.
[22:26] ---
    Machaty is his grandfather.
[22:29] ---
    My God...
[22:36] ---
    Fred?
[22:38] ---
    Machaty's grandson and Kajika...
[22:42] ---
    Fred!?
[22:45] ---
    Fred...
[22:46] ---
    Sooner or later I will come for Kathleen.
[22:50] ---
    Until then, I leave her in your hands...
[22:51] ---
    our mutual friend.
[22:54] ---
    Alas, Machaty...
[22:57] ---
    has come back...
[22:58] ---
    
[23:01] ---
    I can't stand feeling this distance,
[23:09] ---
    So I'm starting to search for your heart.
[23:16] ---
    Because you were always at my side, protecting me.
[23:23] ---
    And I'm afraid of being alone.
[23:30] ---
    Though it's been a long time, everyone's just the same.
[23:37] ---
    Whether sleeping now, or crying, I want to see your smiling face.
[23:44] ---
    Because I will love you, with heart overflowing.
[23:52] ---
    Don't turn away, look at me. I believe in you.
[23:59] ---
    So, no one else knows our secret thoughts
[24:07] ---
    The blue sea of a strong and beautiful time.
[24:14] ---
    In those arms, in that embrace, I'm alive.
